There’s a wonderful blog on writing called Paperback Writer, which I used to read frequently and again in my time of need there’s a post called, Speed the Outline:
I’ve had a couple of folks who are going to be participating in NaNoWriMo ask me to put together the shortest/least time-consuming method of outlining a novel concept.
Ten Point Novel Concept Outline
So I’m going to give that a go for my NanoWriMo.
